Coroner: Woman in fire died of multiple injuries

October 29, 2013

Lynn Wright, the 53-year-old woman found dead in a burned apartment building and whose husband has been charged with her death, died as a result of unspecified multiple injuries, according to Lycoming County Coroner Charles E. Kiessling Jr.

Kiessling said an autopsy was performed Monday on Wright, whose body was discovered late Friday night in the couple's West Fourth Street apartment during a two-alarm fire at 1450 W. Fourth St.

Kiessling only could confirm the manner of death as a homicide and would not release specific information on the cause. He anticipated the release of information would take some time, much of the timing having to do with the defendant, Michael W. Wright, her husband, and what he decides to provide to authorities.
